You just make it clear, don't you just don't? How can you smash people's shops to shreds? If you look at the shop now, I'm afraid the loss is hundreds of taels of silver! You can't let people go bankrupt just because you're not careful, right? ”

"In this way, we don't take sides, shopkeeper, you calculate how much silver you have lost, let this little lady compensate you according to the price, and it will be over, what do you think?"

In the end, in front of everyone, the official didn't dare to be too biased, and tried to find a statement that seemed impartial.

But when a discerning person hears it, this is a biased rouge shop, which makes the little lady lose money, hundreds of taels, where did this little lady go?

If you can't come up with the compensation money, I'm afraid you will have to see the official!

Suddenly, not to mention the lively crowd outside, even Hu Lao Er looked at Mei Xiaotong worriedly.

Mei Xiaotong smiled: "Okay, isn't it just a loss of silver?" How much silver? ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and blew his own rouge gouache into the heavens and the earth, how precious it was, and how great the loss was this time, and finally came up with a huge amount of five hundred taels of silver.

Mei Xiaotong didn't do anything, and the people next to her gasped.

This shopkeeper is too dark, isn't it? Five hundred taels, this is to force the little lady to death!

Mei Xiaotong sneered, "Even these goods that are not on the table in your family are worth this money?" Do you think I'm the one who wronged? Then you're in the wrong place! ”

As he spoke, he leaned down, picked up half a fragment of the porcelain bottle with his fingertips, picked out a little bit of the rouge paste inside, crushed it with it, put it on his nose and smelled it, and then threw it on the ground in disgust, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands.

Sneered: "For example, this rouge, you buy half a box of silver, but this is just an ordinary color, ordinary rouge, you have to choose roselle or red and blue flowers, hollyhocks and pomegranate flowers, take their pure color petals, pound out the flower juice, wash away the other colors, leave the red, and then knead in the insect white wax, into a paste, before it becomes rouge." “

"If this is the case, it will be enough to sell half a box of silver, but the rouge of the Tian family's rouge shop, the flowers in it are a mixture of various flowers, and the flower juice that comes out is not clear enough, and the variegated colors in it are not scooped out."

"Other people's rouge uses beeswax or insect white wax, but the Tian family's rouge shop uses cow pith, which has long been eliminated. This kind of rouge is applied, but the makeup will be taken off in half a day, and the red will turn to yellow, making people's skin yellow and dirty! ”

"Not to mention, this palace fan! The high-quality palace powder is made with the new rice of the year, to soak in water for more than ten days, and wait for the rice to emit a sour taste, the real good powder, there will be a little bit of sourness, although a variety of spices are added to fumigation, but the taste of the powder itself can still be smelled carefully, and the palace powder of this house, white and delicate, applied at the beginning, so that the skin is white and tender, but also can cover the blemishes, the most easy to use. It's a pity that lead powder is added to such a good powder! long-term

With this powder, the skin will become more and more yellow and haggard! In the end, he can't do without his fan! ”

"There is also osmanthus head oil-" Mei Xiaotong said eloquently, not only the people in the store were stunned, but even the people watching the excitement outside were also fascinated.

Especially after hearing that the palace powder was added to the lead powder, several women in the crowd changed color, they often bought the fat powder of the Tian family's rouge shop, and the favorite thing to use was his palace powder, which was white and fragrant, and the skin was fair after use. It's just that there is a bad thing, that is, after washing your face at night, your skin will be dry and yellow, and you can only cover it by applying that powder.

Hearing Mei Xiaotong's words, I immediately had doubts in my heart, especially a few, after a few words of instructions from the maids around me, I pricked up my ears to listen to Mei Xiaotong.

The shopkeeper was terrified when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to pounce on it and cover the aunt's mouth!

Although he didn't know the recipe of this Tian family's rouge shop, he had been working in this shop for almost twenty years, and he had heard a little about many things.

This rouge recipe is said to have been not from the Tian family back then.

The Tian family opened a rouge shop at the beginning, but it was just to buy some fashionable goods, which was not much different from other houses.

Business is also average.

Later, I heard that I didn't know where to find a few recipes, and I started my own rouge gouache, and the business was good.

As for how I got it, I heard that the road is not very bright.

I heard that the original owner of the rouge recipe had already died and scattered.

The shopkeeper's first reaction was that he hadn't been found by the descendants of this rouge recipe? Otherwise, how can you be so precious to rouge and palace fans?

At that moment, a layer of white sweat appeared on his back, and he desperately gave the officials a look.

The two officials also wished that Mei Xiaotong would say a few more words, but the mothers-in-law of the two families liked the Tian family's rouge gouache, saying that they used it very well, and they couldn't leave it for a day.

If there is really a problem with this rouge palace powder, it will be a big deal.

The two looked at each other, only to feel that the silver in their arms was a little hot. The Fang family had only been married to the Tian family for a few years, so naturally they didn't know about the Tian family's old things. Bookmark this site

As soon as she heard Mei Xiaotong's words, she immediately pounced: "You wild girl from the countryside, your mouth is full of nonsense!" What do you know? Our Tian family's rouge gouache is very good! It's been sold for decades, who doesn't praise my rouge for being good? No more nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth! ”

Although she doesn't have much knowledge, she also knows that it is just that their rouge gouache is expensive, and that there is a problem with their rouge gouache.

Mei Xiaotong snorted coldly and waited for the Fang clan to send it to the door.

Fang's momentum rushed halfway, and the knives in the hands of the two officials stepped forward: "This little lady hasn't finished speaking, what are you doing in a hurry?" Don't go back yet? Our yamen is doing things, if you make trouble like this again, don't let us be unkind

Angry! ”

The two officials listened to what Mei Xiaotong said, and they also suspected that the Tian family shop was coming, so when they saw that the Fang family was in such a hurry to make a move, they all felt that the Fang family was weak-hearted, so they wanted to tear Mei Xiaotong's mouth?

This is about the face of his daughter-in-law, what is five taels of silver? The two officials had a tacit understanding and stopped the Fang clan.

Fang's heart was indeed a little weak, although she didn't know that there was a problem with the Tian family's rouge gouache, but she remembered that when she first married into the Tian family, the newlywed Yan'er was hot with her own man.

The woman is the one who pleases herself, and the Tian family didn't start by rouge gouache, so she took advantage of her man's good mood and pointed to say that the rouge gouache was gone, and asked her man to bring some back from the shop to use.

She didn't marry into the Tian family before, and she was reluctant to buy the rouge gouache from the Tian family's shop.

Now that she has become the daughter-in-law of the Tian family, she has long made up her mind that she will use the best rouge gouache of the Tian family to be worthy of herself.

Unexpectedly, his man said vaguely that their daughters made it by hand, and never used the rouge gouache in the shop.

At that time, she still felt that her own man was stingy, and she was reluctant to give her a woman even a rouge gouache.

Later, when she saw that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law at home never used the rouge gouache in the shop, she had no choice but to rest.

Later, she went to the rouge shop to help, and couldn't help but take the rouge gouache that was given to the guests to try it home and use it once.

Sure enough, in the evening, when the man came back, his eyes were straight.

Unexpectedly, the next day, when she saw her own fat powder on the dresser, she was furious, threw all her things away, and did not allow her to take anything from the rouge shop.

Of course, what I told her meant was that they were jealous when they helped their father manage the shop, and they secretly took things from the shop and were seen, God knows how to say it? Why bother people to say? If you really like it, she will buy it outside for the private money.

Fang was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head at that time, and he was ashamed and annoyed.

Later, her man secretly bought her two boxes of high-quality rouge gouache from other families to make amends for her sins, and the two reconciled again.

Hearing Mei Xiaotong say this today, the Fang family is not stupid, thinking back to the actions of his own man, he didn't feel the bottom in his heart.

Therefore, he was stopped by the officials, and he didn't have the courage to continue to pounce, after all, it was a knife, and if he pounced, he would be sent to death!

had to cross his waist and scolded Mei Xiaotong inwardly: "You are a country girl, do you know what rouge gouache?" You girl, I know you, isn't it just that my mother-in-law and your mother were a little unhappy in their early years? Now that our Tian family is developed, you are still living a hard life in the countryside, so you are jealous of us! Chew these tongues, get these maggots! My heart and liver are terrible! Are you not afraid of going to the eighteenth floor of hell after you die in the future? ”

Mei Xiaotong sneered and interrupted Fang's words: "I'll tell you the truth, but I'm afraid that everyone will continue to fall for you."

！ I'm afraid it's your Tian family! Take this kind of thing out to fool everyone, sell it at such a high price, and ruin people's faces! Do you lack virtue or not? ”

"Of course, your Tian family's roots are originally bad! What kind of good person do you think your mother-in-law is? I'm afraid that you haven't asked your mother-in-law who her mother-in-law used to be when you got married, right? Your mother-in-law's mother-in-law has been married for many years and has no children, so she ran to the county seat to steal other people's children and go back to recruit herself! ”

"After recruiting the child, use the stolen child as a maid! The stolen child takes the child to wash diapers when he is three or four years old, and when he is older, he has to work at home and outside the house! In the end, I was sold by your mother-in-law's father and mother to fill the house! Your mother-in-law took off the wedding dress sent by her mother-in-law from the bride on the day of marriage, and wanted to be the color of her wedding dress! ”

"With people like you, it's no wonder that this business is so lacking in morality!"

Mei Xiaotong uncovered Zhang Qiuju's bottom in one go.

Fang's face was shocked, and it took a long time for him to tremble and say, "You are talking nonsense!" ”

"Am I talking nonsense? If you don't believe me, go back and ask your mother-in-law if she is from Zhangjia Village, Shiqiao Town? Back then, although your mother-in-law's family moved, Zhangjia Village is still there, don't you believe it? Who doesn't know? ”

Fang Shi was dumbfounded by the thunder on this sunny day one after another, and stood there stunned, like pins and needles.

There was a whole audience of people inside and out, and they couldn't close their mouths.

Look at each other, this is a shocking gossip! I didn't expect the proprietress of the rouge shop to look kind and angry on weekdays, but it turned out that my father and mother were actually such a person? It's too black-hearted!

There is also a proprietress who actually made this wedding dress for the bride on the wedding day to be left to her god, which is unheard of.

The people present were not stupid, if they were a little skeptical at the beginning, listening to Mei Xiaotong's words with a nose and eyes, they immediately believed seven or eight points.

In addition, there were a few women who asked their maid to go back and take the fat powder to the pharmacy for testing, and sure enough, after a while, the maid ran back with a panicked face and muttered in her master's ear.

The faces of the women changed.

picked up the fat powder, and rushed to the door of the store with a fierce attitude: "Okay, you Tian family's rouge shop, you really sell lead powder!" The old lady just asked her maid to go back and take the palace powder to the pharmacy for testing, and sure enough, there was lead powder in it! The old lady said that why can't you leave your family's fat powder, as long as you don't use it, your face will be yellow! It's all your fault! ”

"No, call your shopkeeper out! Missing your mother's great virtue! If you don't give us an explanation today, my mother will tell you that you don't want to open this shop! ”

…… Hearing that those gorgeously dressed women were so annoyed, where did the other women not believe it? Suddenly anxious! What woman doesn't love beauty? This is going to ruin people's faces, it's simply an enmity that we don't share!

Who here hasn't bought the Tian family's rouge gouache? Even if you haven't bought it, this

The gifts and so on, the greedy and cheap women have also received them once or twice.

These women were hideous at the moment, eager to swallow the Tian family shop alive, and one by one they burst out with great strength and pushed the men in front of them aside.

squeezed in front of the Tian family's shop, asked the shopkeeper inside to come out, asked Tian Shanglang to come out, and gave everyone an explanation.

Where had Fang Clan seen such a scene, he was immediately paralyzed to the ground in fright, unable to move.

Although the shopkeeper has also experienced some ups and downs with the Tian family, he felt that the situation was critical at the beginning, but compared with today's situation, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Immediately, he panicked and looked at the Fang clan, who had already softened into a puddle of mud.

Looking at the other guys, the other guys looked at each other, and a few of them showed resentment.

These guys, finally talking about their family affairs at home, in order to please the future daughter-in-law, also took some gifts from the store back to the future daughter-in-law.

It was a good intention, and the future daughter-in-law also happily accepted it, but now this matter is out of trouble, I am afraid that this family affair will be yellow!

Look at Mei Xiaotong again, this little lady who put the Tian family's rouge shop on the cusp of the storm with the power of one person, and can't say that her reputation for decades is about to be ruined, looking at all this calmly, it seems that everything is under her control.

Suddenly, the shopkeeper's heart was completely panicked!

He gritted his teeth, walked in front of the two officials, and made a deep thought: "The two poor masters, now I am afraid that this matter will not end well, and I am bothered to ask the two poor masters to help the town and town." I'll inform our proprietor—"

The two officials only felt that they must not have turned the yellow calendar when they went out today!

It's just an ordinary trouble, why did it come to this?

Looking at the menacing women outside, the two servants couldn't help but weaken their legs.

I can't wait to throw back the ingot of silver in my arms, I knew it would be so tricky, even if it was fifty taels of silver, I didn't dare to accept it!

But at this moment, they were also blocked in the store, and they couldn't pull down the door to ask the shopkeeper if there was a back door to sneak away, so they had to reluctantly stand at the door: "Aunts and sisters-in-law, sisters and sisters, let's talk about something, can we wait for the owner of the rouge shop to come?" Aunts and sisters-in-law, you see, it's not a problem to block the door like this? This person's family runs a shop and does business, so it's blocked-"

"Whew! This immoral shop, still wants to do business? Hurt more women? ”

"That's it! Such a shop can't let them open their doors to do business! That little girl didn't smash enough! Smash this house down! ”

"That's right! It's all smashed, and the house is smashed! ”

……

Hoo Bainuo!

The two officials looked at the dozens of pairs of hands with pointed nails that almost scratched their faces, but fortunately they reacted quickly and shrank back, otherwise they would have hung the lottery.

The sound outside is getting louder and louder, the shopkeeper has no choice, the Fang clan is not counting on it, it is worth pulling the two guys and reluctantly leaving

to the door: "Fellow villagers, fellow neighbors, I-"

Before the words were finished, "There was a snap, and I don't know who spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the shopkeeper's face."

"Less nonsense! Look at the old lady's face! The old lady has been using your Tian family's rouge palace powder for more than ten years! It is said that the more you use it, the worse your skin becomes, and you don't dare to go out without this fat powder every day! Thanks to the old lady, I was glad that I was fortunate to have the fat powder of the Tian family! Now it seems that it is this Tian family's fat powder that is harmed! Lose the face of the old lady! "A woman who is dressed quite well, with heavy makeup on her face and red eyes, looks at the people in the Tian family's shop as if she were an enemy.

Immediately, many women chimed in: "Not really! My face too! Now I don't dare to go out without fat powder! Back then, I was a famous flower! It's all caused by this Tian family's fat powder! ”

"Lose our face!"

……

Seeing that the momentum was not good, the shopkeeper immediately shrank back, closed the door of the shop, turned around, wiped the thick phlegm on his face, and then looked at Mei Xiaotong resentfully: "Are you satisfied now?" ”

Mei Xiaotong smiled faintly: "Satisfied? You tell Tian Shanglang and Zhang Qiuju that this is just the beginning—"

"What do you mean?" The shopkeeper looked at Mei Xiaotong vigilantly.

Mei Xiaotong put her finger to her lips: "Shhhh

Everyone involuntarily fell silent and pricked up their ears.

It was quiet outside for a while, and then someone shouted, "Oh no! The Tian family is going to run? ”

"Open the door!"

"Smash the door open—"

Then, before everyone could react, someone started kicking the door.
